What I've Been up To

I had three balls of Patons Classic Wool but they were all different colours so I knit a tote bag using 2 strands together. Sometimes the strands were the same colour and sometimes they were not. I even found a matching ceramic button in my stash.
There is no pattern. I just knit it on the fly.

DH and I went down to Harbour Quay last night to hear the band that plays every Wednesday. We sit and I knit while listening to some terrific music. From the looks of the rest of the audience we are now officially of the geriatric set.

Really great looking bag. The only time I knit a sweater, a good (talented knitter) friend helped me through with a multi-colored yarn. It gave the impression that I really knew what I was doing. The sweater was a success and I've never done that again.

Beautiful bag - I would call it "Sunset Over Water"

What a lovely bag! I love variegated yarns, just to see how the design comes out. I don't ever think of doing two together, so will try to remember that.

Definitely a good time. There were lots of others dancing but they were so spread out I couldn't get everyone in the picture.

Looks like fun, and cute bag!

It was fun. I found myself singing along with the band.

Doesn't look like a geriatric band. I'd go listen.

Under those ball caps the hair is either grey or gone.
